LG's new 25-inch UltraGear 25G590B-B is now available to pre-order, and this Full HD (1920x1080) IPS USB-C monitor is the world's first 1080p display to feature a 1000Hz refresh rate. At $999.99, that's $1 per frame. That 1000Hz is also native, which can be pushed to 1100Hz with overclocking, which sounds pretty impressive on paper.
Of course, you'll need a powerful CPU like the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and GPU like the GeForce RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 to get anywhere near 1000 FPS in a modern competitive shooter like Counter-Strike 2. Then there's the fact that many games have a frame limit, like Overwatch's 600 FPS limit. Still, it's possible to get there, and there are notable benefits to running a game at 1000Hz versus, say, 360 or even 500Hz.

The new UltraGear 25G590B-B also leverages LG's MBR Pro technology alongside the native refresh rate to enhance detail, while supporting NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium for tear-free, fluid gaming and a 1ms (GTG) response time. And with its IPS panel, you've also got vibrant and accurate colors.
Traditionally, the highest refresh-rate displays for competitive games have used TN panel technology, which delivers speed at the cost of contrast, black levels, and color accuracy. With its advanced IPS panel, the UltraGear 25G590B-B supports up to 99% sRGB color accuracy alongside VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification for brightness.
